The Cancer Support Center will host its 26th annual Golf Outing on Aug. 14 at Flossmoor Country Club, 1441 Western Ave., Flossmoor.

Registration will begin at noon followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. A reception will begin at 6 p.m. and the silent auction will close at 7:30 p.m. The cost for the event is $225 for individual golfers and includes both golf and dinner. A foursome for the event, which includes golf and dinner for four, is $900. For those not interested in golfing, a ticket for the reception only can be purchased for $40.

The event will feature 18 holes of golf at the beautiful Flossmoor Country Club along with a boxed lunch, award reception with food and cocktails, a silent auction and course games including Poker Run, longest drive, closest to the pin and more.

This year, The Cancer Support Center will honor Anthony Panici and Rich Merlo with the TRJ Humanitarian Award, an award named after Thomas R. Jones, husband of Patricia McDonald, one of the founders of The Cancer Support Center.

Sue Armato, executive director of the center, said Panici started the Lynn Panici Golf outing 17 years ago in memory of his late wife who passed away from breast cancer.

"Together, Anthony and Rich have put on this amazing event to raise money to support the programs at The Center. With no benefit to themselves, these two men have generously given their time, talents, and treasures to truly make a difference in the lives of complete strangers. These acts define a humanitarian and we are honored to give Anthony and Rich this award," Armato said.

The Cancer Support Center gives strength, guidance and support to anyone living with a cancer diagnosis, as well as to their loved ones.
